The Effective Management Program rationale: The Effective Management Program is a comprehensive on-the-job approach to management development based on the assumption that certain managerial practices produce better results than others do. It assesses strengths and growth needs of all managers at all organizational levels. The information it provides enables individual managers to identify areas where changes in their managerial or supervisory behavior can be made most profitably. Results for a group of managers provide a basis for tailoring management training programs to address the specific need leadership skills of that group.
